(3) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. Written in 1933, this short poem provides a brief, whimsical account of Jonathan Chapman's quest to plant apple trees all over the United States. Emphasizing his solitude, the text presents Chapman as a model of American determination and independence. Clever, humorous illustrations breathe new life into the somewhat dated text and help to make the verse sound both fresh and relevant.
